InterestsNot provided

BiographyIm work for Red Gate Software as a Product Evangelist. I have received the Data Platform MVP award every year since 2009. In my time Ive worked at three failed dot coms, a major consulting company, a global bank and a global insurance company. Ive done development of large scale applications in languages such as VB, C# and Java. Ive worked in SQL Server from the hoary days of 6.0. Ive also got experience with Sybase and I know how to spell Oracle. Ive worked with a number of third party tools extensively. My current favorites are anything from Red Gate (of course). My nickname is the The Scary DBA. I wear it proudly.Outside work, I kayak, learn & teach karate, brew my own beer, raise my kids and help lead a troop of Boy Scouts.
